Note 489 — Chapter VI · THE FINDING OF STRANGE COASTS.
Reading edition
Footnote 489: It rests upon an improbable statement of Ramusio, who places the event as early as 1470. The first Genoese writer to allude to it is Casoni, Annali della Republica di Genova, Genoa, 1708, pp. 26-31. Such testimony is of small value.[Back to Main Text]
